MotoGP: Stefan Bradl merciless with Pecco Bagnaia: "There's really no reason to feel sorry for him anymore, he has to find his own way out of this mess."

Zero points. Zero energy. Zero spark. Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia is having a nightmare season in 2025, and the San Marino Grand Prix only confirmed the freefall of the two-time Ducati world champion. At Misano, on his home turf, the Turin native left the track with another disappointment – ​​an eighth-place finish in qualifying, a 13th-place finish in the sprint, and then a crash at Turn 10 in the race. The result: a second weekend without a single point this year.

bagnaia only registered 24 points in four Grand PrixA starving record which places him at the mercy of Marco Bezzecchi, his friend but now direct rival, who is only eight pointsEven more cruel: at the same time, Marc Marquez stacked 131 points, Alex Marquez 69, and Bezzecchi 73 despite a double zero in Barcelona.

bagnaia, he no longer advances. And he is now placed in the same column as Joan Mir, Miguel Oliveira ou Johann zarco in terms of weak results.

Sunday, on ServusTV, Stefan bradl, former MotoGP rider and current tester Honda, cracked. In front of the cameras, he delivered an uncompromising diatribe against the Italian:

« He looks so listless, including the way he walks away. ", the German said. " I don't see him pulling himself together and saying, "I'm going to try now." I don't see him trying hard, but I also don't see the other approaches needed in terms of physical attitude, and that's really surprising »

Et Bradl to further reinforce his diagnosis: " There is really no reason to feel sorry for him anymore, because he must find his own way out of this mess. He has already proven in the past that he is capable of it. »

The tone is dry, brutal, and it illustrates the growing feeling that bagnaia no longer has any mental or physical weapons to raise his head.

Stefan Bradl: “ At Ducati, they may have already given up on Pecco Bagnaia »

For Bradl, the observation is clear: “ Reset, and from Pecco Bagnaia's point of view, I would try hard. He messed up everything, but I really didn't sense any tension or willpower in him. This guy is a bit empty. »

The contrast with 2024 is stark. bagnaia had already experienced some downturns, but he knew how to bounce back. In 2025, the double champion seemed out of breath, trapped in a GP25 he no longer controlled, trapped in a downward spiral.

Ultimate symbol of unease: Bagnaia canceled his press conference scheduled for Sunday evening in MisanoPostponed first by an hour, then by another, it was finally canceled after a three-hour wait. The official excuse? "Meeting with the team."

A silence heavy with meaning. When a project leader remains silent, it's because doubt is setting in. Ducati Does she still have confidence in her number 63?

Stefan bradl does not exclude that the Italian brand begins to let go of its champion, especially in a context where Marc Marquez crushes the competition with the same machine.

« It's possible " he acknowledged about a possible rebound in the Asian tour. " Every weekend he has the chance to get a result that will rebuild him. But I have the feeling he is completely lost with the settings of the motorcycle and that it lost his sensations. " And to conclude, bitterly: "they may have already given up on him."

There are six Grand Prix left to bagnaia to save his honor. But his season now resembles a slow sporting agony. One statistic is chilling: in the last five rounds, the two-time champion has not seen the podium once.

Ducati bet on him as a natural leader against MarquezToday, the Italian appears only as a shadow of himself.
